Barre chords for 7 string guitar?

[anttofm]

Pretty much as the question is asked. I've gotten my E shape barre chord down with no problem on a standard 6 string. But I normally play and practice on my 7 string (tuned to Drop A so I have E standard on the top 6 strings). How do I properly do a barre chord? Do I fret across the 6 and mute the 7th with the tip of my finger, or do I reach my index finger over the 7th and mute it? There aren't a lot of resources out there haha

However you do it when you play 5 string barre chords (like A, C, etc) and don't want to sound the 6th string. No sense reinventing the wheel.

The cruel irony is that the minute that I posted this, I figured it out. Thanks for the help!

You had to write it up to put it in terms your brain could work with. Good deal. Glad you got it worked out!
